Enjoy making flower crowns with the girls in Sydney

The class will come to you or it can be hosted at their own private studio depending on what you’d prefer, but all of the materials for making flower crowns will be provided either way.

Take a tipsy terrarium workshop with your favourite ladies

At The Plant Whisperer’s tipsy terrarium workshop, you and the girls will learn how to make a terrarium with a glass of something delicious in hand. This makes a great hens party for the bride-to-be who likes to get a little loose with her pals but isn’t keen on big group environments. Everyone will discover more about the art of building a terrarium guided by an expert teacher, who’ll also provide all of the best terrarium plants and teach you tips on how to keep your new plant pal happy and healthy for as long as possible.

Plus, giving the bride-to-be her own terrarium is a great way to boost her mental wellbeing. Haley Magendans from The Plant Whisperer says that plants "help you de-stress. In fact, just looking at them is good for you! We have a symbiotic relationship with plants, so plants expel oxygen and they breathe in carbon dioxide. By having plants in your space you benefit each other.”
